PATTERN AND PATTERN SET.

Application filed July 18, 1924. Serial No. 726,695.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, MAX I-IERZBERG, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Patterns and Pattern Sets, of which the'following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

his invention relates to a pattern or pattern set such as is used by dressmakers, and aims to provide certain improvements over heretofore known devices of this character.

It is an object of the invention to furnish an improved pattern set, which will be of such a nature that the same. be utilized with facility by relatively inexperienced persons.

A further object is to be predicated on the provision of a setof patterns by the use of which garment portionslare formed, which patterns will embody characteristics whereby the finished garment may be modified in certain particulars, the pattern set being furnished in such a manner that an opera tor will instantly know exactly how the pattern sections, and consequently, the garment portions, are to be arranged in order to produce perfect results.

A still further object is that of providing a pattern set which will preferably be of such a nature thatv an operator will be able to readily and properly correlate the various pattern sections. i

Another object is that of furnishing an instruction-sheet preferably accompanying a set of pattern sections, which instruction.- sheet will in certain-respects furnish more explicit information than is incorporated in the pattern set. V 1

Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.

The invention accordingly comprises an article of manufacture possessing the features, properties, and the relation of elements which will be exemplified in the article hereinafter described and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claims. t

For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention reference should be had to the following detailed 'detern section may soription taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 shows a set of patterns such as are used to provide a finished garment;

Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 5 illustrate in detail oertain of these pattern sections; and d Fig. 6 shows an instruction-sheet which preferably accompanies each set of patterns. j

Referring particularly to Fig. 1 it will be noted that pattern sections 10 to 19 inclusive have been shown, and of these various sections, 10, '11, 12 and 16 have been illustrated in detail in Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively.

Itis preferred that each of the various sections be indicated in any desirable manner, as has, for example, been shown at 20, so that a person using the pattern will have no difficulty, in determining the particular section upon which she is working, it being furthermore noted that, if desired, eachpat carry a trade mark indication 21. i s I In addition to the foregoing indicia each pattern section is conveniently. provided with notches and perforations 22 and 23, respectively, and in the present embodiment of the invention the former are identified by reference characters as at 24, while' the latter may also be identified by indicia in the nature of sets of instructions 25 and 26. Even though the, characters 24 are utilized it is preferred that indicia in the nature of a set of instructions 27 be placed adjacent each of the same, so that, in addition to identifying each of the notches or similar portionsby a character, specific instructions are provided in order that the pattern may be utilized with facility by a relatively untrained person. p 1

In this connection it is of interest to note that in the present instance the instructions 27 do not alone refer to a general assembly operation, but'specifically identify that pattern section which is to be arranged adjacent the section in. use, and "furthermore,

state .exactly'the relative disposition of-these insignia 21, reference characters 24 and the sets of instructions 25, 2 6 and 27 are all preferably printed, and the pattern set is conveniently accompanied by an instructionsheet 28 of the nature shown in Fig. 6. This instruction-sheet preferably shows the most economical manner of laying out the pattern sections on different lengths and widths of material, as has been indicated at 29. Furthermore, the instruction-sheet conveniently shows all of the various pattern sections as at 30, and indicates-as, for example, by dotted lines 3lthe various groups of perforations 23 or other indicia which may be used in lieu thereof. A full explanation of these markings may be given on the instruction-sheet as at 32, it being noted that this explanation refers particularly to such sets of instructions as have been indicated at 26, which latter, it will be noted, in turn refer to theinstruction-sheet for detailed explanation.

The instruction-sheet also preferably has a column 38 devoted to the various steps in volved in cutting and assembling the garment portions, and this column may also include illustrations 3s of the finished garment, as well as a compilation 35 of the various sections included in the pattern set.

In this connection it is of particular interest to note that the identifying marks 2 applied to each of the pattern sections are conveniently included in proper order in this compilation. Obviously, it is unnecessary to provide more than one pattern section for duplicate garment portions when it is merely necessary to reverse either the material or a pattern section in order to obtain the opposite garment portion. With this in mind the pattern set of the present invention conveniently includes merely one complete set of sections, and in this connection it will be seen thatin order to avoid confusion the indications 20 each embrace a designation which specifically identifies that particular garment portion which will be provided when the section is placed face upwards upon the material to be out. In line with this procedure the illustration 34: of the finished garment has the particular garment portions which are primarily pro vided by the use of the pattern sections not alone identified by the characters utilized at 20 and 35, but also preferably identified by shading or otherwise distinctively marking as at 37 the illustration of those portions of the garment which are initially provided by theuse of the pattern set. 7

As an additional precaution against the improper use of the pattern, and even conceding that a person fails to refer to the in struction-sheet, it will be notedparticular reference beinghad to pattern section 11- that this section may present a compilation 36 of all of the pattern sections which are included in the set. r

In using a pattern having the-characteristics of the present invention an operator will have before her a set of patternsections as has, for example, been illustrated in Fig. l. Accompanying this set will he the instruc tion-sheet which will show the finished parts of the garment, and will also indicate actly those garment portions which wil e formed it the pattern sections are arranged face up on the material. in this connection, as an additional precaution, or as a primary indicationassuming that no instructionsheet is utilized the indication 20 will show exactly which garment portion. will be formed with the pattern section arranged upon the mate iul in a certain manner. The instruction-sheet will also serve as a check which will indicate exactly the number of sections which provide the finished pattern set, and in the event that the information indicatec at 36 is provided on the face of one or more of the pattern sections, an operator will not find it necessary to refer to the instructionsheet for this information.

The instruction-sheet, in addition to serving as a guide in order to indicate the most economical distribution of the pattern tions upon a given size of the material, win, if desired, include information eripla'mi' in detail the mode of assembly of the sections, as well as the correlation thereof and the individual manipulations to which each section may be subjected in order to produce different results. I

Furthermore, it will be noted that indeoendent of the instruction-sheet, each pat tern set will contain information which will serve to intelligently guide any person w u; may use the same. -Thus, for example, the instruction-indicia will be clear-cut and will not alone refer to the manipulations to which the individual pattern piece'or section is to be subjected, but will also preferably positively identify the next adjacent section in such a manner that no error can possibly occur. Due to the explicit nature of these instructions an operator will also know, in addition to the fact that a certain section is to be placed adjacent the, section upon which she is working, exactly how the garment portions out by the use thereof are to be correlated; and it will be observed that in addition to all the foregoing, if--as has been illustratedthe characteristics of this invention are incorporated in a pattern set which is cut to size, i. e., the outline of which corresponds exactly to the outline of the finished garment portion, a set of perfect garment portions will be provided by the e2;- penditure of a minimunramount of effort.

Finally, referring to the indicia, including the notches, perforations, characters, instruc tions, identification marks and phrases, etc, etc-., it will be noted that the form, as well as the character of all of these may readil be changed, and thus, since these and other changes maybe made in the above article and different embodiments of the invention could be made without departing fromthe scope thereof, it intended that all matter contained-in the above description or shown in the accompanyin drawing shall be interpreted illustrative and not in a hunting sense. 1

It is also to be understood that the if 'll'owing claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to falltherebetween. I

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Lettess Patent is:
